LEARN ABOUT CREATURES
(IN OUR OWN NEIGHBORHOODS)
this project is called LOCAL BIOLOGY (until we think of something better)
© 2009 Local Biology, a social business
A social business is owned by the people who directly benefit, and need its existence. We all benefit from the earth, and knowing about the earth, therefore, the earth owns Local Biology and we are simply noticing her, and how she created us.
It is by being a social business today that we can reach out to all people who want to understand the world they live in - the science, the spirit, the changing planet. We can reach around walls built by schools and other educational institutions, television, media, science, religion, language and country.
We know that we love and care about our Earth and in this we unite as this 'social business,' the business being that we are all working together to bring this knowledge together on this website and to other real projects in our towns — working with our own communities and, especially, friends.

OK technically, I lived in 'West Berkeley' but this is only a mile from where you live now, Jeanne-Marie. I lived near University and San Pablo - and there were always, always House Finches sitting on the power lines. I did not often see Goldfinches, but then again, I'm not very clear about the differences between the lesser goldfinches and the regular ones.
Where I lived it was pretty flat - but it seems like the liveliness of the neighborhood changes north of the Bart station -- everyone's gardens are more lush, and there seems to be more bushy trees? Not sure why though. Don't know if it's because it's further away from University?
